July Empties!

Happy Thursday loves! I hope my Random Fact post got you by for two days! Anywhooo, I made the "No Buy July" commitment at the end of June, so it's been a project. I had to stay out of the Makeup stores.. it was like the hardest thing in the world! My main goal out of all of this was to save money and use of some of the products I have, because I'm like a hoarder, hoarder of makeup and beauty products. I did however, cave in two days ago and by stuff for my face because I was getting bad breakouts, but so worth breaking the rules. So shall we get started?!

So there's a lot here, but I have way more unused stuff than I do used.

Biolage Ultra HydraSource Conditioner& Biolage ColorLast Shampoo
So I'll start with these. I LOVE LOVE LOVE, the HydraSource Conditioner. It just leaves my hair feeling brand new, so a lot of the time when I'm in the shower, I'll use it as a deep conditioner, just leave it on for3-5minutes. It seriously does the trick and I was really sad when I ran out. I will repurchase once I get rid  of some other conditioners- I have about 4 in the shower.

As for the ColorLast shampoo-It's not empty. I saw on pinterest to add prenatal vitamins to your shampoo to help with hair growth, so I did.I crushed up the vitamins and added them to my shampoo. However, every time I used the shampoo, I could see my color coming out in the suds. So, I stopped using it.

Healthy Sexy Hair- Soya Want It All & Biolage Kertindose DeepConditioner.
I've written in past blogs about how much I love the 22 in 1 spray. I spray it in when my hair is wet and when I dry it, it feels amazing! I also like to use this on my extensions after I wash them. I will be repurchasing this in the near future.

Same as the Kertindose Deep Conditioner. I was really impressed with this stuff. It's designed for over-processed hair, which is mine! I only used this stuff like once a week because it is expensive, but it was so worth it!

I


Coconut oil.
You all know how much I love my coconut oil. I use it all the time!! It's great for stimulating hair growth, deep conditioning, and my favorite- shaving your legs. I have never gotten a better shave then when I use this as my shaving cream. I actually had a back up for this when I ran it. So I continue to be happy. If you haven't, check out my blog on this fabulous product!

No shame. Let's be real ladies, during the summer, looking good while wearing those swimming suit is key. And if you're like me, you get red and bumpy,and ain't nobody got time for that! So I purchased this and it was a serious game changer in the shaving world. For less than $3, I think it was a total steal!

I purchased two boxes of these back in May when I saw how bad my nose looked. I'm so happy with this purchase because you can literally see all the crud( blackheads/whiteheads) these strips pull out of your nose.I have changed my cleansing routine, but I do plan to repurchase to keep these on hand!

I ran out of the cleansing pads for my Neutrogena Microdemabrasion brush.But I won't be repurchasing any time soon because I purchased a whole new brush system that I am seeing way better results on.

Loreal Super Slim& Urban Decay Ink for Eyes.
I love both of these eyeliners.
Super Slim is my go-to drugstore eyeliner that I will be repurchasing.
I used my Ulta Reward points to purchase my Ink for Eyes. I loved it-the whole 2-3 times I got to use it.
The cap kept popping off,and eventually I didn't notice and it dried out. I was super super sad about it. But I like it enough that I will purchase again sometime in the future.
I've been using NYX Liquid liner in place of these two, and I love it.

These are my two favorite primers. The only problem is, they're not cheap.
Moisture Blur is $22-however, i need a moisturizer on my face before applying foundation because my dry spots really stick out if I don't use on.
The Porefessional is amazing because it minimizes my pores and I can tell it makes a difference, but it goes for like $32 if you don't get it on a special.
I would like to repurchase at least one of these products, but I'm just not settled on which one.



Super sorry that I don't know how to rotate these pictures .
But you guys have seen me go on and on about Tarte Amazon Clay foundation. I love this stuff so much. I've been using Revlon Color Stay and Kat Von D Lockit foundation in it's place but they are definitley not comparable:( I even cut open my bottle to use everything that was left.I purchased in February andd ran out like beginning of July. For $38, I will be repurchasing because I have weddings coming up August-October and I know this will do the trick.

Rimmel BB cream is my go-toBB cream. I use the Medium/Dark shade after getting my SprayTans because it helps blend my face to match the rest of my body.I'm also out of the Light/Medium cream that I use when I'm not so tan.So I will be repurchasing

If you have never tried MaryKay Satin Lips-you are not living.
If you're a big lipstick/lipgloss wearer, or just have dry lips, you will be in love with this product.
It's a two step process. You apply the mask, and rub it in for like a minute or two, and then wipe off. All your dead skin comes with it!Then you apply the balm to come with it. It is seriously amazeballs! I prefer this system versus exfoliating my lips with a tooth brush. And if you're looking at getting some, I am a Mary Kay consultant and would love to assist you(:


I was using this for contouring because I  saw it in a  YouTube video. However, I didn't like it once I tried it but I used it up. I will not be repurchasing for that use.

I have finally hit pan on my favorite brow product.I am a freak about my eyebrows and was on the hunt for the perfect product forever and I finally found it. Anastasia Brow Pomade. for $18 I will be repurchasing when I'm completely out.

I like to wear this liquid eyeshadow from Hardcandy on my lazy days. I think it really makes my brown eyes pop out. I probably won't repurchase one anytime soon, but possibly in the future.

I bought this makeup remover at Ulta for like$3 and was really impressed with the fact that all you do is wipe on-wipe off. No water necessary.  And it took all my eye makeup off without me looking like the grudge.I'm using Netrugena wipes currently, so I won't need to repurchase anytime soon.


I hate this thing. I bought it at Wal-Mart as a dupe for the Beauty Blender. I even made it damp, so help make it less hard, and it didn't work and it definitely did not do the job. I will not repurchase this ever, and will continue to stick with my RealTechniques Beauty Sponge.

So there you have it! All the things I used up in July. Taking my collection down a little at a time! Next post will be on my updated face cleansing routine, you're gonna want to read that!
